Sanjay Dutt had a tough start in Bollywood with Rocky . His addiction to drugs took a toll on his films too with continuous flops for the next five years. That’s when his close friend Kumar Gaurav tried to revive his career with 1986 film Naam, which was directed by Mahesh Bhatt. The film turned out to be a blockbuster. This and a lot more Gaurav did for Sanjay. All of it was missing from Sanju, even the fact that Gaurav later became the brother-in-law of Sanjay.
